title: Adenosine sensitive left ventricular tachycardia.
abstract: Presented here is a 39-year-old male patient with no structural heart disease but a ventricular tachycardia with right bundle branch block morphology and right axis deviation, which is responsive to adenosine. The ventricular tachycardia was initiated by ventricular pacing, shown to originate from the mid-anterior free wall region of the left ventricle and terminated by adenosine. Radiofrequency current application at a site where presumed P potentials were recorded eliminated the tachycardia, a finding that suggests that the origin of the tachycardia may be closely related to the anterior fascicle.
